Gellibrand Summer Flows Improvement Project

The Gellibrand Summer Flows Improvement Project aims to improve the ecological health of the Gellibrand River by increasing flows in the river over summer.

Low summer flows in the river have been identified as a risk to the ecological values of the river such as fish populations. The Western Region Sustainable Water Strategy (Victorian Government, 2011) identified improving the environmental flows to the Gellibrand River as a priority action.
